A beloved Christmas market in Kimberley, Nottingham, has been cancelled after more than a decade, marking the end of a long-standing local tradition. The decision, described as an "incredibly difficult one" by the council, comes amid rising costs and a lack of financial support. Locals have expressed disappointment, calling the move a "great shame." The market, which had drawn thousands each year, will not return this holiday season. Council officials cited ongoing financial challenges as the primary reason for the cancellation. The event had become a key part of the town’s festive calendar, offering seasonal food, crafts, and entertainment. With no plans to revive the market in 2025, residents are left wondering what will replace the cherished tradition.
